Dates
Filling
- 6 tsp smooth peanut butter
Toppings
- 20g salted peanuts, chopped
- 60g dark chocolate, melted
- Prepare Dates: Remove the stones from the Medjool dates to create a cavity for the filling. Press each pitted date gently into round silicone cupcake molds to help them hold their shape.
- Add Peanut Butter: Spoon one teaspoon of smooth peanut butter into each date cavity, filling them generously to create the creamy center.
- Top with Peanuts: Sprinkle chopped salted peanuts over the peanut butter for a crunchy texture and extra flavor contrast.
- Drizzle with Chocolate: Pour melted dark chocolate over the filled dates, ensuring they are nicely coated and the chocolate seeps around the edges.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer for about one hour, allowing the chocolate to set completely.
- Serve: Remove from the molds and enjoy your delicious Date Snickers immediately or keep frozen until ready to eat.
Notes
- For extra crunch, you can lightly toast the peanuts before chopping.
- Use dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for richer flavor and less sugar.
- Medjool dates are preferred for their large size and natural sweetness, but other soft dates can be used.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
- This recipe is gluten-free, vegetarian, and can be made vegan by ensuring peanut butter and chocolate are free from animal products.
